The Age (2008) has label Kevin Rudd as a hypocritical leader as a year prior to the Beijing Olympics he reprimanded Chinese Authorities for a block on the internet. Rudd expressed his frustration by stating that "They should have nothing to fear by open digital links with the rest of the world during this important international celebration of sport." A year on, Rudd is attempting to implement similar standards on Democratic Australia, by blocking certain websites that the government deems as inappropriate.
What's your take on this? How would you feel if you could not freely surf the internet? What if you could not tweet on twitter or update your status on facebook? Do you feel that your human rights are being trampled on?
